The University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing is
committed to providing a  research-intensive
environment that generates new knowledge in health care as related
to direct clinical practice and public health policy. The University
of Pittsburgh is ranked in the top 10 schools of nursing in research
support from NIH.
To facilitate the School's research commitment, the Center
For Research & Evaluation (CRE) was introduced in 1987. The
CRE supports basic and biobehavorial
research as the school continues its expansion with focused areas
of research in chronic disease, critical care, adolescent health and
administrative resource and outcomes. An active multidisciplinary
mentorship of investigators facilitates programmatic research development.
The Center for Research
in Chronic Disorders (CRCD) was funded by a grant from the National
Institute of Nursing Research. The CRCD
provides infrastructure and method support for systematic design and
testing of evaluation outcomes to impact the person with a chronic
disease. |
